Dr. Deepti Manjunath is a Consultant Anaesthesiologist at Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road, Bangalore, with over 10 years of clinical experience according to her official hospital profile. She specialises in adult and paediatric anaesthesia, perioperative medicine, high-risk surgical anaesthesia and patient monitoring before, during and after surgical procedures. Her clinical expertise includes general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, paediatric airway management, procedural sedation and postoperative pain management.
Dr. Deepti Manjunath completed her MBBS from Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bangalore, followed by MD in Anaesthesiology from JSS Medical College, Mysore, where she received a gold medal for academic excellence. She subsequently obtained DNB in Anaesthesiology and completed a Fellowship in Paediatric Anaesthesia at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health, Bangalore.
As an anaesthesiologist in Bangalore, Dr. Deepti provides anaesthesia planning and perioperative support for patients undergoing different types of surgery. Her responsibilities include preoperative medical assessment, selecting appropriate anaesthesia techniques, maintaining patient stability during procedures and coordinating postoperative recovery. Anaesthesia plans are individualised according to the patient's age, medical conditions and surgical requirements.
Dr. Deepti has specialised training in paediatric anaesthesia, including anaesthesia for infants, children and adolescents. Her expertise includes paediatric airway management, anaesthesia for surgical procedures and sedation for selected diagnostic interventions. Children have specific physiological and medication requirements, making age-appropriate assessment and monitoring essential throughout the perioperative period.
Her clinical interests also include high-risk anaesthesia for patients with multiple medical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disorders and other systemic illnesses. She has experience in perioperative management for renal transplant recipients and anaesthesia for vascular access procedures. These cases require coordinated care, careful monitoring and individualised management of potential complications.
Dr. Deepti's work includes geriatric anaesthesia and perioperative assessment of elderly patients. Her academic research has explored frailty, functional status, pain and postoperative outcomes in older adults. These factors are important when assessing surgical risks and planning appropriate anaesthesia for patients with age-related medical concerns.
She has also contributed to research on paediatric endoscopy anaesthesia, renal transplant anaesthesia and vascular access surgery. Her professional experience includes consultant work at NU Hospitals and a senior registrar role at Motherhood Fertility and IVF, Banashankari, before her current association with Manipal Hospital.
Dr. Deepti Manjunath provides anaesthesiology services at Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road, Bangalore. Patients and surgical teams may consult her for pre-anaesthesia assessment, paediatric anaesthesia planning, perioperative care and selected high-risk anaesthesia requirements. The choice of anaesthesia and related procedures is determined after medical evaluation.
Dr. Deepti Manjunath provides general anaesthesia for patients undergoing surgical procedures. General anaesthesia involves controlled unconsciousness, pain prevention and continuous monitoring of vital functions. The anaesthesia plan is selected according to the procedure, patient health and individual medical risks.
Dr. Deepti Manjunath has completed specialised fellowship training in paediatric anaesthesia. She provides anaesthesia care for children undergoing selected surgical and diagnostic procedures. Her expertise includes age-appropriate medication planning, airway management and perioperative monitoring.
Newborns and infants require specialised anaesthesia planning because of differences in physiology, airway anatomy and medication responses. Dr. Deepti Manjunath's paediatric fellowship training includes anaesthesia care across different childhood age groups, with attention to patient safety and recovery.
Pre-anaesthesia evaluation helps identify medical conditions that may influence surgical and anaesthetic risks. Dr. Deepti Manjunath assesses medical history, previous anaesthesia experiences, current medications and relevant investigations before determining an appropriate perioperative plan.
Spinal anaesthesia involves administering anaesthetic medication into the fluid surrounding the spinal nerves to produce temporary numbness in selected parts of the body. It may be appropriate for certain lower abdominal, pelvic or lower-limb procedures. Patient suitability is assessed individually.
Epidural techniques deliver medication near spinal nerve pathways to provide anaesthesia or pain relief. Dr. Deepti Manjunath's practice includes regional anaesthesia and perioperative pain management. The decision to use an epidural depends on the procedure, medical history and contraindications.
Regional anaesthesia uses targeted medication to reduce sensation in a specific body region. Peripheral nerve blocks may be used as part of a surgical anaesthesia or postoperative pain management plan. The technique is selected based on the operation and the patient's clinical condition.
Airway management is an important component of paediatric anaesthesia because children's airways differ anatomically and physiologically from those of adults. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has documented expertise in managing paediatric airways, including during emergency and complex procedures.
Children undergoing selected endoscopic procedures may require sedation or general anaesthesia to support comfort and procedural safety. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has published research on anaesthesia management and complications in paediatric upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Patients with significant cardiac, respiratory, kidney or metabolic conditions may require additional planning before surgery. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has experience in anaesthesia for medically complex patients, including assessment of associated risks and coordination with multidisciplinary surgical teams.
Older adults may have increased sensitivity to anaesthetic medicines and a greater likelihood of coexisting medical conditions. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has an academic interest in geriatric anaesthesia, including frailty assessment, functional status and postoperative outcomes in elderly surgical patients.
Kidney transplant surgery requires careful management of circulation, fluid balance and other physiological parameters. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has documented clinical and research experience relating to renal transplant anaesthesia and perioperative care for patients with advanced kidney disease.
Patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula or other dialysis access procedures may require local, regional or general anaesthesia. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has published work relating to perioperative outcomes in vascular access surgery and has experience managing patients with chronic kidney disease.
Emergency surgery may require rapid assessment and stabilisation of patients who have not undergone routine preoperative preparation. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has documented expertise in emergency anaesthesia, critical decision-making and management of patients with complex medical needs.
Central venous cannulation provides access to major veins for selected treatments, monitoring or critical care requirements. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has experience in ultrasound-guided central venous access and related procedures. Ultrasound guidance can assist in identifying vessels and supporting procedural planning.
Postoperative pain management may involve different combinations of medicines, regional anaesthesia and supportive care. Dr. Deepti Manjunath's perioperative practice includes assessing pain and supporting recovery after surgery. Treatment is adapted to the procedure and patient-specific medical considerations.
Monitored anaesthesia care involves supervision of a patient's physiological condition during selected procedures, with sedation administered when appropriate. Dr. Deepti Manjunath provides anaesthesia support for diagnostic and surgical interventions requiring careful monitoring.
Patients with chronic kidney disease may require adjustments to anaesthetic medication, fluid management and monitoring. Dr. Deepti Manjunath has experience in anaesthesia for renal patients and has presented educational material concerning the anaesthetic implications of chronic kidney disease.
